Joined the 21st
Battalion in the field
The Battalion was involved in heavy
fighting in the Amiens area, but Paddy Doyle joined the rear detail that was situated near
Marcelcave. It is unclear whether he
proceeded forward right away, as the war diary makes note of 68 Other Ranks arriving at
the rear detail as reinforcements, then the next entry noted 80 Other Ranks being sent
forward to reinforce the Battalion in the front lines.
One would assume that because he was an experienced soldier, he would have been in
the group moving forward.
